The main aim of this blog is to interpret the Christian Order in the light of current affairs, philosophy, literature and the arts -- and vice versa. So it's about ideas. Social, political and religious comment. Links, notes on people, places, events, books, movies etc.
And mainly a place where I can post half-baked ideas in the hope that other people, or the passing of time, will help me to bake them.

If you're American and reading this, "chav" is the nearest Brit equivalent to "redneck". If you're South African and reading this, the nearest equivalent might be "Pirates fan", except that Pirates fasns have a certain degree of panache (and saying "panache" marks me as posh, geddit?), which is lacking in chavs.
